#Celebrities Who Have #Tons Of #Children

Family size is shrinking in many countries — including the U.S. And just like the rest of us, in the celebrity world, it’s a rare thing to see families with more than three or four kids.

There are exceptions, of course. And there are plenty of celebs who have increased their kid count through multiple marriages and relationships. But did you know that all of these famous people had this many kids?

Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan has five children with first wife, Sara Lownds: Jesse, Anna, Samuel and Jakob, and adopted daughter Maria, from Lownds’ previous relationship. Dylan also had a daughter, Desiree, with Carol Dennis, whom he was secretly married to for six years.

So it seems that he has six children, but things are complicated with Dylan. He had another common-law wife and a long list of girlfriends, and a former girlfriend has suggested the singer perhaps fathered two more children that have not been acknowledged.
